Amanda Zampelli
Host of Crafty Ass Female
I believe in regular people like me and you telling our stories our way.
I believe in the habitual, typed-out processing of life events, i.e. "this is what has happened to me and this is how I'm moving through the world with it."
I believe in sharing our brave, weird, niched talents/hobbies/obsessions with the world.
I believe in real talk, flawed images, and that getting things out is better than keeping them in.
